  • 1.  Research on Women in Engineering - Possible Conference Outlet?

    Posted 02-01-2012 15:38

    An engineering colleague at my university has been doing research on why women persist in engineering less than men.  Her preliminary data suggests that "women tend to persist if they have a strong engineering identity and also have the view that the engineering workplace provides them a place to belong, grow and serve.  If they determine that the engineering workplace will not meet those needs, then they leave engineering altogether."

     

    She has asked me if I know of any conferences outside of engineering that would be appropriate to present this data.  I thought that some of you on the list might have some good suggestions.  If you are aware of an appropriate conference outlet, could you send me the name of the conference?

     

    Thanks,

    Denise

    Colleagues,

     

    AOM should have room for studies regarding gender issues!  HR, OB, Management Development, Competitiveness, etc!

     

    Thanks,

    Dear Denise:

    Thanks for your question on women in engineering.  I believe that NSF has some grant funding in that area and there seems to be more research around in that field right now.  It seems that OB would have a place for such research.  But what the results touch upon is professional identity, and the Careers Division would have an interest in research such as that.  And of course, the Gender and Diversity in Organizations Division would have an interest in research that looks at the intersection of gender and professional identity.  I believe that your colleague will find that there are a number of both management and engineering conferences (and journals) that are interested in her work.  However, it is quite likely that that nature of the conferences is quite different--I don't know much about engineering, but I'm guessing that there are probably a lot of different "conference routines."  Your colleague might want a "mentor" (or at least a friend!) if she is venturing out of the engineering area and into new fields. As I'm sure you know, the Academy and other, similar conferences can be quite bewildering on one's "first time out." 

    I'd be happy to "talk" with your colleague electronically, if you think it would be helpful.  I'm sure that there are many other folks in OB, Careers, and GDO who would be willing to do so, as well.  The research sounds quite interesting!  --  Gayle

    Hello!

    The Association of Technology, Management and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) would be very interested. The topic fits perfectly with the conference theme. CFP is here: http://atmae.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=86&Itemid=20

    I have been a member of the group for 3+ years and have presented numerous times. Please feel free to forward my contact information to your friend, if you wish, if there are questions.

    Best regards,

    I am in Washington DC today and tomorrow at the CE21 PI meeting (NSF
    Computing Education for the 21st Century), co-sponsored by the National
    Center for Women in Information Technology (NCWIT). You might get some
    helpful advice from that organization.

    Dear Colleagues,

     

    I believe that AOM  and the OB  Division should be flexible enough to open an opportunity for a session on this very interesting area. We teach flexibility, adaptability, etc, etc. Women in engineering and in technical fields is a very important area that concerns all of us. It is very interesting that the US Navy lifted the band it had on women serving in submarines! And one of the reasons for this "major change in policy" was that more and more women are getting into the engineering and technical fields of study! The fact that the deadline for submission has come and gone should not be an impediment for our academic organization to welcome and make room for this research to be shared with the membership!

     

    Thanks,

     

    Ivan
